Subject[PATCH v2] nl80211: take RCU read lock when calling ieee80211_bss_get_ie()
As ieee80211_bss_get_ie() derefences an RCU, it needs to be called with
rcu_read_lock held.

Fixes: 44905265bc15 ("nl80211: don't expose wdev->ssid for most interfaces")

Indeed -- I had misread the code and hadn't thought of ssid_ie also needing
the protection during its lifetime. So here's a new version 2 -- which I
will only be able to test tomorrow, though...

Thanks,
Dominik
